Our editor tried them in a light indigo blue wash and fell in love with them. Read her Levi's Ribcage Acid Wash High Waist Ankle Straight Leg Jeans review for more details and photos.

Editor quote: "Not to sound like a broken record, but what I love most about the Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans is their comfort. They're stretchy, high-waisted, and slightly cropped, landing at the ankle. They're just rigid enough to have structure but soft enough that I look forward to slipping into them at the start of the day. They've become the It girl of my denim collection because they go with everything and are reliably comfortable. For these reasons, I've reached for them repeatedly, and I have no signs of slowing any time soon." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Commerce

Our Place Titanium Always Pan Pro ($150, originally $195)

It can also be used with metal utensils, and features a steam-release lid and a beechwood spatula that can rest on the pan's handle. Three of our editors tested it out and write about their experience in this Our Place Titanium Always Pan Pro review.

Editor quote: "I went with something a bit thicker and more ingredient-heavy: a savory Shakshuka. This recipe includes four eggs, which are cooked in between a blend of chopped tomatoes, roasted red peppers, smoked paprika, cumin, and harissa. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to scoop the food out and portion it accordingly to different plates. The dish cooked evenly throughout and the pan was easy to clean after the fact; there were almost no food remnants and anything left could be scrubbed off easily with my sponge. The nonstick pan has quickly become a staple on my oven top and completely replaced every other pan in my kitchen." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Shopping
